Wellness Programs: Three Steps to Building an Effective Program
Wellness programs are quickly becoming the way many smart corporations are motivating their employees to live healthier lifestyles.
Reduced absenteeism, increased employee loyalty and a major decrease in health insurance costs are just some of the many benefits.
To reap these benefits, here are the three steps to building a Wellness Program:
Step 1: Create an incentive gift selection. Develop a catalog featuring products and services that will motivate your employees.
Step 2: Establish “wellness goals.” Some examples include target weights, quitting smoking, reducing blood pressure or lowering cholesterol. You can also include preventative check-ups as one of the goals.
Step 3: Reward points. Once your employees reach their goal, they receive points. And with these points, they can select from the variety of products and services to celebrate achieving their goals.
